Keep up the good work.  I really think Live Search is reaching the tipping point where it may be able to take share from other search engines.  At this point, I think Live Search requires a few more killer points of differentiation (i.e. data visualization from publically available databases) and some great marketing to really tell the story of why people should try Live Search.

Again, great work...keep it up!!

We're happy to report that we've officially integrated Live Search into Firefox by popular demand.

Do you plan a french version (FR) for this add-on ?

Finally, I can use Live Search in Firefox.

How come an add-in is required? Yahoo and Google don't require plugins.

Glad to see someone's actually around to talk.  I already was made aware of:

All Cashback issues are being handled by the Cashback customer service team. Their contact information is listed in the corresponding posts.  You can find additional answers on their support site at https://support.search.live.com. Or you can fill out the necessary information on the online form and someone will be in touch with you. https://support.search.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=cashbackso&ct=eformcs

in another thread.  However, other than the obligatory someone will be back to you email (but never does), the cashback problems continue to mount without the company being responsible enough to address them.  Are there other avenues of contact?  How in the world do you expect to grow your market share if you continue to alienate an ever growing segment of what was your customer base?  Word of mouth is starting to get pretty heavy on the negs, and is near as I can discern it has everything to do with (the lack of) customer service.

@LiamK - Sorry to hear you are still having response issues. If you want to provide the ticket number that was sent back to you when you submitted your request on the support site above I will try to forward to the appropriate team.

This search plugin would not install for me until I manually removed livecom.png and livecom.src from "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins".  I had an old version of the live.com search plugin installed and removing it via the UI did not do the trick.

@Phil - We are evaluating other markets where we can ship this feature

@Sam -You don't need add-ons for Yahoo and Google as they are distributed with Firefox, where as Live Search is not

@James - When you select Manage Search Engines from the drop down beside the Firefox search box, you get the Manage Search Engines List window. You can then remove the old version from that window.

Hello,

Please do not repeat what google does

its useless,

if google works fine, why do we have to test yours

however feature request can u add something like this

i call it word map, this somehow wrong example, but u should get idea

food --> country

       --> pasta --> pizza --> cheese

                       -->spagethi

say search in word map

i can navigate to any other query that correlated with

food

it can be on ui with picture

so when user mouse over other query, they another query that related

or

any other ui for quick selection,

no2, not something like that comboBox

its more like a grid, then when u can select it with number or the first letter

etc2
